A little under 12 months ago, the Eagles entered Training Camp with plenty of optimism and some exciting rookies. The team’s 57th overall pick that year, J.J Arcega-Whiteside, had all the makings of an Alshon 2.0 and a future starting X receiver. That was at least until the Eagles guaranteed Jeffery’s 2020 salary and essentially redshirted their rookie under the guise of getting him to learn the playbook from every WR position. This, partnered with injuries we later learned about in an interview he agreed to with 100yardas, resulted in a year deemed disappointing by many, where he tallied 169 yards and just one touchdown in a year where the opportunity was limitless.
Are the Eagles making a mistake by cross-training rookies so early?
